Released as Erbar-Grotesk by Ludwig & Mayer in
1926, Jakob Erbar’s design is one of the first geometric sans
serifs, released before Futura (though there is some
debate about which design was conceptualized first).

A total of 11 styles were added to the family from 1926–30,
including 2 weights with smaller x-height/longer ascenders known as
Erbar-Grotesk II, and 2 condensed weights. Partly
adopted for Linotype/Typograph. There are many alternates —
monocular ‘a’, stemless ‘u’, ‘A M N V W’ with pointed apexes
(splayed ‘M’), ‘Y’ without exit stroke — that were likely motivated
by the success of Futura, and are later shown as
defaults. Early proofs (VdS-Kartei) additionally show a set of
low-waisted caps and several glyphs where the middle or top bar
crosses the stem (‘B E F H K P R’).

Digital versions by Linotype (Condensed only, no alternates) and URW (7 styles, with alts). URW additionally has Erbar Neo Mini, a single bold style likely based on the Headliners version. Dunbar (CJ Type) is a contemporary reinterpretation in 3 subfamilies. See also Journal Sans / Journal Sans New and GTEesti.
